The older PC race minis of which I have a lot of?Those are the ones I have because those are the ones I use.  The things I wanted more of? That would be assorted monsters  of an astonishing variety in unreasonably large numbers. I like to collect critters by the 6, 10, or 20.I find that sort of selection of a given monster allows me to use them in just about any way I want in a game session. Expensive? Yes. But you asked - so I'm answering.The things I want? For the most part -- those are things that WotC has already released in the past seven years.Result: I'm a customer of either:A.   Retail booster products WotC sold three to five years ago which are still in the retail channel; or,B.    Single minis in the secondary market, again, sold by WotC in years past.Either way, I'm buying something that WotC has already sold, for the most part. They aren't achieving a "new" sale with me and DDM.If WotC had not flooded the market with this stuff, it wouldn't exist in the numbers that it does for me to buy and I would have to buy NEW stuff from WotC. But they did, and it does -- and there are no mulligans when it comes to releasing manufactured goods into the market.  They last a long, long, long time.So the only way WotC is going to sell me on a new version of a product they already made -- which I already rather like -- is to provide me a superior version of it at a cheaper, or at least, a competitive, cost.Near as I can tell, that hasn't happened and isn't likely to anytime soon, either.</blockquote>
